SoundCloud Extractor II
Soundcloud doesn’t make it easy to access the MP3 files of your hosted tracks. They are there, but you have to dig a bit deep. This tool will help you locate your MP3s, but only if you are on the podcasting service.
This updated extractor will give you the MP3 file of any Soundcloud track. Please use this responsibly- i.e. only use it to access or download tracks that you own or have had permission to download.
SoundCloud MP3 Extractor II
To obtain MP3s from all tracks
by Ian Anderson Gray
Hello
I was trying with https://soundcloud.com/selena-gomez-official/wolves URL and I am getting error check it.
Thank You!
Hi. Unfortunately, this service no longer works. I’ve looked for a way around it, but Soundcloud is going out of their way to make it difficult to get the MP3 link.
My only recommendation is to enable feeds and look through your RSS feed for your MP3 files.
This doesn’t appear to be working anymore.
yes http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/226907485-superheroslate-ep-038-red-blood-moon.mp3 type link works with my music player
I just wanted to add to this, I noticed all my old tracks are no longer “Enable Downloads” on their settings. If I remember, this had always defaulted to “yes” and now its not. Not sure if this helps?
Thanks!
None of the MP3’s, new or old are resolving as of today. Any idea why?
Thanks,
Tim
Oh no! For some reason media.soundcloud.com is no longer available. No wonder none of the previous MP3s are working. I’ll look into this and see if they’ve changed the MP3 links. However, even if they have done that, this will mean all previous MP3 files won’t work. This is a disaster for podcasters and Soundcloud need to sort this out.
Thanks for letting me know.

I was looking at the RSS Feeds and all my tracks are now listed at the following: ”
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/226907485-superheroslate-ep-038-red-blood-moon.mp3“
Yes, I think if you have switched RSS feeds on you can get your MP3s from your feeds. However this extractor managed to get the MP3s directly from the Soundcloud track page even if you hadn’t enabled feeds.
I’ll look into it, but I think I’ll have to build a new script that makes it easier for people by extracting the MP3 links from the RSS feed. They really like to make things difficult for podcasters don’t they?!

I post 1600 times per year to soundcloud. We just started podcasting, only 30 episodes in so far. The thought of something happening like this in the future and NOT finding an option is sickening.
I think that a better option might be to move the MP3’s we want to podcast to a traditional host. Soundcloud doesn’t seem to be a solid option and they are not forthcoming with big changes like this one.
We have a pro account. I emailed them yesterday about getting a tar file will all of our media. They politely said “no.”

Confirmed! You did fix it and it does work.
Thank you!
Thanks everyone for your patience. Soundcloud changed something behind the scenes. I think I’ve fixed it. If you could have a look and let me know if it works for you! Ian
Hi Ian,
Seems to have stopped working. Older, extracted MP3’s are all still linked, but new attempts to extract an mp3 yields only a generic http://media.soundcloud.com/stream.mp3.
Any info would be appreciated and helpful.
Thank you.
Ian,
This has been a lifesaver ALL year. However, I”m getting a stream.mp3 output on everything I input today. Can you see if its something SoundCloud changed? Thanks again!
Thanks for letting me know, Chris. It looks like Soundcloud have changed things. Do you know if any of your previous MP3 files are still working? I can’t work out whether they’ve just stopped providing MP3s or whether they can still be extracted. Could you check and let me know? If possible, could you link to a previous MP3 that you extracted (assuming the old links still work). Feel free to email me through my contact form. If I can fix this I will. Thanks!
Thank you for this tool!
Thank you for creating & sharing this, one of the only Soundcloud tools that actually work!
Thanks, Christian- that’s great to hear. Glad you find the tool helpful!
Ian
